Analysis of Cellular Interference for MC-CDMA and Its Impact on Channel Estimation
Overview This paper addresses the downlink of a cellular Multi-Carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) system taking into account channel estimation. The system performance in presence of a synchronization mismatch between two interfering Base Stations (BS) is analyzed in the way that a mobile terminal receives the perfectly synchronized signal from the desired BS as well as the signal from one interfering BS with a synchronization offset. It is demonstrated through simulations that spreading and cell specific random subcarrier interleaving effectively decorrelates the interfering signal, independent of the synchronization offset.
